The comedian and Family Feud host is quoted an expert on marital sex after comparing her interview with Sam Botta to words of Steve Harvey. She states “I decided to ask Sam Botta, a celebrity interviewer in Los Angeles, to explain what men want. Sam’s comments about sex are eerily similar to those of Steve Harvey, who referred to sex “the cookie” in Act Like a Lady. Here’s what he told me: Sex is a man’s only emotional connection–it’s like a woman’s desire for communication. Men don’t like to communicate through lengthy discussions , that’s why they always ask women to get to the point. A woman’s primary M.O. __ communication — is rarely pleasurable for men. Yet a man’s primary M.O. — sex — is very pleasurable for women. So when a man asks his wife for sex, he’s not asking her to do something that’s not pleasurable, or something that only benefits him. He loves bringing pleasure to his wife. It’s how he communicates his love for her. You can’t turn this around. Oftentimes a man likes to have no communication all–yet if he doesn’t spend hours listening to his wife or girlfriend talk about her feelings or problems, he’s considered a prick. http://bit.ly/WEFiVs Sam also added that most of the profiles he receives are from women who present themselves powerful and independent, though these are salable traits. But men aren’t impressed with that, he says. What men want more than anything else in the world is to be respected and admired, loved and accepted. The rest is largely immaterial. Sam’s comments about sex are eerily similar to those of Steve Harvey, who referred to sex “the cookie” in Act Like a Lady. “Please–puhleeze–don’t hold out on the cookie. We don’t care about anything else,” he wrote. “We don’t care about anything else; we need the cookie. The emotional stuff–the talking, the anything cuddling, the holding hands, and bonding, that’s Y’all’s thing. We’ll do those things because we know it’s important to you. But please understand: the way we men connect is by having sex. Period.” That would be like a man cutting off all communication with his wife or girlfriend when it doesn’t suit him. It would be like a husband saying this to his wife: “Listen, honey, in marriage sometimes things happen–people close to us become ill, or die, or one of us gets depressed, etc.–so i think it’s reasonable when i don’t feel like talking, listening or paying any attention to you. I just don’t feel like communicating. Thanks for understanding–just like you expect me to understand the no-sex thing.
